I'm in favor of adoption of this draft.  I do *not* believe there is that much intended variation between the streams, and someone would really have to show me that this is the case. I have no problem with streams overriding certain provisions on a case-by-case basis. And to John's point, I don't recall where we actually took this on as work, either here or in the IETF, and failed. Mostly what Brian is doing is consolidating the RFC Editor and IETF statements.  I agree with nearly all of EKR's specific points, one of which aligns with what Colin wrote, but all of those points could be fixed.

So, I haven't seen any comments.

Either that means everybody is 100% happy with the draft and we should adopt it immediately, or nobody is interested and we should just drop it. Which is it to be?

Heavily updated following many comments...

The main points were to make it clear that stream policies always win, and I added a minimal section on dispute resolution.

More comments please!
